If you are getting a new 800 #, you have to order it from a Verizon, ATT, Sprint, etc. DO NOT COMMIT to a contract. As soon as you get the line in place you want to transfer it to a discount carrier. If you have an 800# now.. are you paying more than 5 cents a minute? Are you paying a monthly fee of $10 to $15 per line ? If you answered yes to either of these, your overpaying.
Check out IDT (http://www.idt.net/business/) telephone. This is a huge company, on the NYSE, and they have been around forever. They are a true discount telephone company with no scams or hidden charges. It's 5 cents a minute. period. No per line charge, no contracts. no setup, no bullshit. They are from New Jersey, and their customer service can be a bit rude, but no worse than Verizon in India.
They bill in 30 second increments, and give you a full detailed understandable bill at the end of the month. You can put all your lines on one account, 800#, regular lines, home phone, and have a single bill with a detailed breakdown each month. Check them out. I realize it's a pain in the ass to call and spend 1/2 hour on the phone to move the lines, but you will save every month for as long as you have these lines.
